In the matter of the delinquency of Geo.

over to me two hundred and fifty dollars
on the amount due by him to the Town of
Abbeville, which said amount has been
paid to your Treasurer. and entered and
charged in his books.
On the Goth of May, 1887, I received from
the Finance Committee delinquent licen-
ses for the year 1887. amounting to forty
five dollars all of which have collected
and turned into the treasury, except IL
cense No. 40 against John Agnew as jew
eler. said license cannot be collected as
the party does not sell jeWelry of any III
as / am Informed, but merely repairs arti-
cles and is only a workman.
Ireceived also from Euphemon Leblanc,
Cons-Collector, license No. 43 for 1887, is
sued against Telesphore ThibeauA, butch
er, that license is also uncollectable, the
party having sold meat only for a day or
two. for or under another huther's license,
80 the Cons-COllector was informed.
Said last two licenses should be can
celled or destroyed.
